BEFORE TIME CHANGES THEM
They were terribly sorry when they separated.
Neither of them want it; it was the circumstances.
The need to survive made one of them
go far away— to New York or Canada.
Their love however was not the same as before;
their attraction had gradually diminished,
the attraction had diminished a lot.
But to separate, they didn’t want that.
It was the circumstances.— Or perhaps Destiny
appeared as an artist separating them now
before their feelings disappeared, before Time changed them;
for each the other will remain for ever
that twenty four years old, handsome young man.
